Jews of all types from all over the world, guests of the KMR Pesach program in Banff, Alberta, came together for a birchas hachama ceremony in the spectacular Canadian Rockies.

Surrounded by majestic snow-covered mountains, Rabbi Mendel Polter of Monsey, NY led the ceremony and Rabbi Simcha Werner addressed the crowd which included renowned lecturer Manis Friedman and Los Angeles shliach Yehoshua Gordon.

After reciting the Bracha together, a spontaneous dance broke out among the particpants.

Is that CGI NY Learning Director Moshe Frank? I heard he was directing the Childrens programing at the Fairmont over Yom Tov.

The Werners seem to really put together the classiest Pesach destinations with top-notch ruchnius and gashmius.

Wish I was there... Maybe next year Ill save up enough money to go.
